It's Love

I finally upgraded to a new camera, a DSLR!!! I am so excited and happy and in love. In love with my hubby who gave it to me for Valentine's day and in love with the camera. I plan on taking a lot of photos with it and can't wait to figure out all the features that my old camera doesn't have.

THANK YOU HUNNY!

I now have a Pentax K-x. The coolest thing about the Pentax DSLR cameras is that you can use your old Pentax 35mm Camera lenses on them. Since I have 3 lenses that have basically been sitting in a bag collecting dust for a few years, it makes me feel good that I will be able to use them again. (I even tried to sell them a while ago and was told that they were worthless...hahaha, no they aren't!) I know that Canon and Nikon have pretty much cornered the market in America with the DSLR's, but I have heard nothing but positive things about Pentax and am so excited to get to know this camera.

Yes, I got the obnoxious red one. It's doesn't bother me, especially since it was almost $100 cheaper than the black one. It was purchased at B&H Photo Video online.

My old camera was a Fuji FinePix S1000. It was a great point and shoot, a little bulkier than most, but I made it work for me and it did a phenomenal job. I loved it so much, that in the last 3+ years that I have owned it, I have taken over 16,000 photos with it! I typed that correctly, with the comma in the right place.

My Fuji is still working well and I plan on using it when I need a smaller camera with me. I purchased it through Amazon, a newer version of my old camera is located here, Fujifilm FinePix. I would highly recommend this to someone who wants to get to know manual settings before taking the plunge into a DSLR. I found this camera to be very user friendly and still love it.
